Diversity

Since our founding in 1984, Athena Health Care Systems has encouraged and promoted a culture focused on developing and preserving diversity, equity, and inclusion – for our residents and their families, and our team of caregivers. Athena believes that the diversity of our caregivers allows for better care of our long-term care residents and short-term care patients. Throughout our daily work, our patients, residents, and their families put their trust in our hands. And, by doing so they deserve to always be treated with the utmost respect and compassion.

We embrace our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

The collective sum of the individual differences – life experiences, knowledge, beliefs, unique abilities, and talent that our employees invest in our centers and affiliates represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and accomplishments.

All employees within the Athena network have a responsibility to always treat co-workers and their patients, residents, and families with dignity and respect. Employees who believe they have been subjected to or witness any kind of discrimination that conflicts with our mission should seek assistance from a supervisor, human resources manager, or their administrator.

Athena Health Care Systems’ centers provide a comprehensive orientation program for all new employees; both general orientation to their center and job-specific orientation. Our orientation programs are provided both virtually and in person and are designed to provide the new employee with the training and education needed to deliver the best in resident care and customer service to our residents and their families.

Career Advancement Opportunities

Growing From Within

Athena also offers various opportunities for career advancement to its staff as well as scholarship programs for those looking to advance their career within our organization. Through employee input, we are strengthening and expanding these opportunities to help employees grow, both professionally and personally. Many of our Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) have gone on to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Registered Nurses (RNs), as well as serve in other management roles in our centers.
